To use positrons to annihilate selected tissues is far outside the realm of possibility right now, and is far outside the realm of common sense in any event.  Even the annihilation of a single red blood cell would generate an explosion of roughly a kiloton.

I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Only if you're okay with blowing up the whole hospital as well.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
